Tony, a nine-year-old kid, is sitting at his desk when suddenly he wets(尿湿) his pants. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he can’t possibly know how this has happened. It has never happened before. He knows the after-effect (后果)—When the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they’ll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
Tony puts his head down and say to himself, “Oh, no. What can I do? I need help now!”
He looks up and notices the teacher coming, with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking to him, a classmate named Emily is carrying a glass that is full of water. Emily falls down in front of the teacher and drops the glass of water in Tony’s pants. Tony seems to be angry, but all the while he is saying to himself, “Thank you, dear! Thank you , dear!”
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the person that everyone laughs at, Tony is the person of sympathy (同情). The person that everyone laughs at should be him, but now it is Emily.
She tries to help, but they tell her, “You’ve done enough, you stupid!”
At the end of the day, as they were waiting for the bus, Tony walks over to Emily and says in a low voice , “ You did that on purpose, didn’t you ?”
Emily says back in a quiet voice, “I wet my pants ,too.”

When I’m sad and feeling low,
And worries are all I know,
Just hearing you say “Hello”,
Fills me with a cheerful glow.
When I’m away in places new,
With no familiar faces in view,
It gives me pleasure to think of you
And the adventures (冒险) we’ve been through.
When life seems like one long night,
And nothing is ever going right,
There’s just one sure delight:
Friendship, like sunrise, warm and bright.

Christmas was upon us. We practiced singing for Christmas party in the gym. Then the headteacher, Mr. Breitenbush came. With a big smile, he announced a gift exchange during the Christmas program among all the students in the school. And we’d be Santa’s little helpers. Everybody was excited.
On our way out of the gym, we each pulled out of a piece of paper with a name on it from a box. Ressig’s name was on my paper. When I figured out who had my name, I was very sad. It was Betsy McClure! She had started school late in the year and never knew anything. Her family lived in a poor house. That made her poorer than the rest of us.
My little heart sank(下沉). I decided I hated Betsy McClure.
Then the party came. I wanted to hide when we began the gift exchange. One name was called and then another. Kids jumped up, laughing happily as they received their gifts.
“Betsy McClure,” Santa called. I saw Betsy stand up slowly.
“ Delores Kennedy,” Santa called out. My turn had come. I knew it would. I looked across to see Betsy on her feet, coming towards me. I stood up from my chair. Betsy handed me a small brown paper bag. “Merry Christmas,” she said in a low voice. She was smiling at me and searching my eyes for a hint(暗示) of friendly acceptance.
“I..I... thank you,” I said and opened the bag. I looked in, then back at her, It was a star made of twigs(细枝), tied with green grass.It must have taken hours to make! I suddenly felt very small.
“But Betsy …” I started to say. The smile on her face stopped me. It happened to me that I’d never seen her smile in all the weeks.
